Columba Catholic College - St Mary's Campus (P-6)
Welcome to St Mary’s Campus (P-6)
Columba Catholic College has been providing exceptional education for over 140 years. The Prep – Year 12 College offers contemporary facilities across two campuses and a curriculum that focuses on competencies such as connection, collaboration, entrepreneurial thinking, and a growth mindset.
As a co-educational school, students can find their own special niche for learning and personal growth. The school has a Kindergarten on site, providing a seamless educational and cultural experience spanning across the early, middle, and senior phases of learning.
Quality Education
Our Early Years Education programme recognises that play is a vehicle for learning in young children and that they learn directly through hands-on experience. This approach fosters creativity, curiosity, and a love of learning from an early age, ensuring students are engaged and excited about their education.
Priority is given to literacy and numeracy development, as these are the foundations upon which further learning is built. By establishing strong foundations in these key areas, we prepare students for future academic success and provide them with the skills needed to thrive in all areas of their education.
We pride ourselves in creating and sustaining high-quality learning environments and conditions under which quality teaching and learning take place. Our dedicated staff work closely with students to ensure they are supported academically, emotionally, and socially, creating a holistic educational experience that caters to the needs of each individual.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral Care is embedded into every aspect of our educational framework, ensuring that students are nurtured not only academically but also personally and spiritually. This supportive environment helps students develop resilience, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence, allowing them to confidently navigate both their studies and their personal growth. By fostering a sense of belonging and care, the College ensures that students feel valued and respected throughout their educational journey.
And with a kindergarten on-site, facilitated by Catholic Kindy’s, our educational setting gives families a seamless educational experience spanning across the early, middle, and senior years of learning. This continuity allows for a smooth transition between each phase, ensuring students are well-prepared for each new stage of their education.
Co-Curricular Life
In the Primary years, students have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of cultural activities and clubs, including the Instrumental Music Program for Piano, Senior and Junior Choirs, Reader’s Club, Indigenous cultural and art workshops, Running Club, Optiminds, and more. These programs encourage creativity, critical thinking, and a sense of community, allowing students to explore and nurture their unique talents.
Our sporting activities also offer a variety of ways for students to stay active and develop teamwork skills. Primary school students can engage in Inter-School Sports, Representative Sports, Gala Days, Swimming for PE, and specialized sport clinics. These programs promote physical fitness, resilience, and healthy competition, helping students build confidence and discipline.
Through these diverse cultural and sporting opportunities, Columba Catholic College ensures that students not only excel academically but also grow socially, physically, and creatively, supported by a caring and inclusive school environment.
